Stop................calling...............it..............soccer!I checked in with the soccer guys. This was their assessment:
One of the 2 games is played by kicking a round ball around with a part of your body called.............let me think...........oh yeh, your foot. So let's add those 2 words together and call it football.
The other game is played over the Atlantic and only 2 players on the entire team use their actual foot when playing the game (1 tonight if we don't count Maher)!!
Which of the 2 games do you think legitimately should be called football? Other games with sensible names could include - basketball, netball, volleyball.
I'm having a joke and a rant but, do you guys over in America ever look at that and think maybe we've got the names wrong on these 2 sports or do you stick with the convention that the rest of the world is wrong?
